hello, I am a new guy to Linux and have been using pop-os for like a week now and when I updated to the newest version I find that it doesn't detect my wifi adapter putting in mind that in the older update it was detecting it and running smoothly I tried updating drivers and reading other forums nothing helped my wifi adapter Broadcom and ya that's it please if you have a way to fix it tell me <3
 


Have you tried installing broadcom-sta-dkms? Open a terminal and run the following.
Code:
sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms
Then reboot your system en see if your wireless is working, if it isn't open a terminal again and then
share the output of the following.
Code:
ip a
lspci -nn | grep -i net
 
k now when i try to boot the device after i log in i get a black screen note: i didnt do anything yet it just dont even let me in
 
Is that after you installed broadcom-sta-dkms or you have done that either as in you have change anything yet?
 
Press ctrl+alt+f6, that should switch you to virtual console where you should be able to login. Can you try that?
 
Can run the following and share a picture of what you see, use your mobile.
Code:
systemctl list-unit-files | grep gdm
 
Try running the following and then tell me what happens?
Code:
sudo systemctl restart gdm
 
k finnaly it worked k i will try the wifi connections command and tell u what happened :)
 
I am assuming that means you got the graphical login screen again as before?

that what i am getting when trying to run the first command to fix the wifi
 
edge browser
I think your browser profile may be corrupted, you can try to rename or delete whatever directory has your browser profile stored and then open the browser again.
